If you are allowed to take the system down, boot the system rescue CD and
use partimage to compress and save the partitions accross the network to some
other machine running partimaged.  It breaks the backup into whatever size you
like pieces (700mb for CD, 2 or 4 GB for DVD).  You can then burn the DVD's
on the other machine at your leisure.  

I am assuming that while you cannot mess with the machine to be backed up, you
can get a machine that you can put the DVD burner on.
